My Laid-Back Life in Dakang

It's so strange! You say you're living a carefree life, but then you're always causing trouble in front of the emperor. You talk about living a carefree life, but then you're jumping around in front of the emperor. It's weird that even though he's the emperor, he beats his own brother's son. Besides, gambling was legal in ancient times, yet people would still get arrested. It's all so confusing!

When I saw the protagonist try to teach explosives-making techniques to a complete stranger who couldn't even see the bigger picture, I didn't want to continue watching. Just think about what kind of thing explosives were in ancient times!

Locust plagues, solved by eating them? You should just take that as a joke, but you had to write it down. First, the food chain tells us that energy transfer efficiency is at most 20%. Second, frying locusts? Where's the oil? Third, modern methods of dealing with locust plagues involve early warning and preparation, and this is because we have hybrid rice and international grain traders.

I just don't understand. Why would you offend the prince for a servant you barely know? What's the point? (And that beating was deserved, good riddance, gambling is somehow justified!) And that illegitimate son who informed on you—if informing could lead to promotion, that would be one thing, but royal children aren't allowed to hold office. He was so sure he wouldn't be discovered, yet he offended a whole bunch of relatives. How is he going to survive in the future?

I've read most of this book, and I'd like to share my thoughts. Some of the flaws are truly unbearable. 1. Qiu Xiang. The author sets her appearance to resemble Ya Ya (at first I didn't know who she was, but after reading the book reviews I found out it refers to Tong Liya). The author brings real-life emotions into the novel, setting her as the pinnacle of beauty. To be honest, this is not good.

Why can gasoline be obtained from petroleum through filtration? Did I learn chemistry for nothing?

I really can't stand it anymore. The Kangxi Emperor is supposed to be a peaceful and prosperous nation, yet the world is his enemy; the court officials are said to be all capable and talented, yet both crown princes died mysteriously, and assassinations are rampant near the capital; the Embroidered Uniform Guard is touted as incredibly powerful, but we can't find any information about them; the…

I glanced at the comments section, and it's been absolutely scathing. This book was actually highly recommended by the editor-in-chief?! Is that editor-in-chief really that blind?!

This is ridiculous. They start by constantly throwing in scientific explanations. I'd accept it if they wrote about the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming, or Qing dynasties—it's a completely fabricated dynasty anyway. But this constant stream of explanations is just copied and pasted; they probably don't even know if it's accurate.

The biggest problem is that it uses a real-life celebrity as a reference. I didn't have any feelings for that person before, but now I really dislike this actress, all thanks to the author...
